Cheers. I don't think I've ever had such a response to a normal ethical take. We complain about wanting free and open source products but by the looks of it nobody is able to sit through a 20 second sponsor.

If we had everything on a free open source platform people would still skip the sponsored segment.

I feel if the sponsor blocks keep up we'll start to see the creators or sponsors combat it in ways we really don't like.
